COVERAGE
Estimates below will provide a useful guide:
BondCrete undiluted = 3.5 square metres per litre
BondCrete Diluted:
BondCrete 4 parts: water 1 part = 8 square metres per litre
BondCrete 1 part: water 1 part = 17.5 square metres per litre
BondCrete 1 part: water 4 parts = 35 square metres per litre
BondCrete as an admix: BondCrete 1 part water 10 parts is an ideal admix ratio for cement toppings, concrete, plasters etc.
For estimating purposes 2 litres of BondCrete diluted with 20 litres of water is normally sufficient for mixing each 40 kg bag of
cement.
